Description

Your summer skiing experience starts early in the morning when the glacier pistes are perfectly groomed and the conditions are ideal. You can either meet your ski instructor directly on the mountain (Klein Matterhorn) or be picked up conveniently from your accommodation or the valley station. After a brief chat about your goals, you'll head straight for the Klein Matterhorn.
Whether you want to hone your technique, try out new things or regain your momentum - your instructor will adapt the pace and content to suit you. The course ends on the Klein Matterhorn, where you can enjoy lunch at the highest mountain station in Europe.
